Is it not advisable to go out at night in July?

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is commonly known as the Zhongyuan Festival, or the "Ghost Festival" among the people. According to local customs, people visit graves, burn incense, and burn paper money to worship their deceased ancestors. Because Buddhism also holds the "Yulanpen Festival" on this day to chant sutras and liberate the souls of the dead, it is also called the "Yulanpen Festival" or "Yulan Festival."
It is said that during this period, the wandering ghosts from the netherworld all scramble to come to the human world to have fun and find some delicious food and drink. Especially on July 15th - the Ghost Festival, the gates of hell are wide open and it is the day with the heaviest yin energy in the world. It is generally believed that it is best not to go out during the Ghost Festival to avoid encountering ghosts, and it is even better not to go to the riverside to avoid accidentally falling and becoming a substitute for a water ghost.
Some people also believe that July 14 is the day with the heaviest yin energy in the Ghost Month. Legend has it that if you stay in the wilderness at midnight on this day, you will see the spectacle of hundreds of ghosts parading at night. Hundreds of ghosts came over the Naihe Bridge, and the underworld lit up big red lanterns to lead them, marching towards the Yang World they had been away from for a long time. So it is not advisable to go out this night.
